----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The National - Wake Up Your Saints -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Verse] E I had a hole in the middle G#m Where the lightning went through C#m I told my friends not to worry B My wife would know how to fix it E Hole in the middle G#m I'm seeing less of you C#m Now i'm not going anywhere B And I dont know what I'll do
[Chorus] G#mB It's easy to lose your grip C#mG# It's easy
The verse chords are used in the build up bits (i.e. "So i walk...") and the chorus chords for "wake up your saints..."
If you want to cheat and dont like bar chords, tune all your strings down one fret and its just 'FAmDmC' for the verse and 'AmCDmA' for the chorus- I keep my guitar tuned down a couple of steps so would tend to play it this way, even though its cheating and takes the fun out of it I prefer the sound.
